POPULISIM - POLRAIZATION -CORRUPTION

How Can Western Democracy Survive? Discussion with David Frum and Patrick Hamm

Join us for an interactive conversation about the crisis of liberal democracy in Europe and America. What can we learn from past mistakes and controversies as well as current events in order to find forward-thinking solutions for both sides of the Atlantic?

David Frum is a writer at “The Atlantic” magazine and the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, "Trumpocracy - The Corruption of the American Republic", his ninth book. From 2001-2002, he served as a special assistant and speechwriter to President George W. Bush during and after the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Frum is now working on his tenth book about how to renew the American world leadership after Trump.

He is a recognized intellectual leader of the American conservative movement and was one of the first and foremost conservative Republicans to sound the alarm about the challenge posed by the Trump presidency to U.S. global leadership, open international trade, and democratic institutions. His prophetic 2017 cover story in the Atlantic, "How to Build an Autocracy", has been one of the most cited works of the Trump years. Frum …

ANGRIFF DER ACHT AUF DIE DEUTSCHE GEGENWART, KEIN SCHÖNER LAND. 

c/o C.H.Beck , moderiert von Jens-Christian Rabe/SZ

Das Buch Kein schöner Land ist eine mit einem Schuss Größenwahn versehene, unterhaltsame wie kontroverse Gegenwartskritik mit Zeitdiagnosen zur deutschen Kultur. 

Drei der insgesamt acht Autoren sind im Salon Luitpold zu Gast und diskutieren u.a. über Essen, Popmusik sowie Film und Fernsehen in einem Land an der Schwelle zu den neuen Zwanzigern. Sie sind nicht wie die anderen deutschen Denker, die am liebsten in ihrer Filterblase Harmonika spielen. Sie stürzen sich in den Gegenwind. Unabhängige Geister, die hierzulande so dringend gebraucht werden. Die Veranstaltung knüpft an den legendären Auftritt des popkulturellen Quintetts Joachim Bessing, Christian Kracht, Eckhart Nickel, Alexander von Schönburg und Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre im Berliner Hotel Adlon für ihren damaligen Gesprächsband Tristesse Royale

Noemi Schneider ist Filmemacherin, Erzählerin und Essayistin. 2013 erschien ihr Sachbuch "Kick it, Walaa!", 2017 ihr Roman "Das wissen wir schon".

Daniel Gerhardt ist Popkritiker und freier Journalist und war Chefredakteur des Musikmagazins SPEX.

Leander Steinkopf ist Erzähler und Essayist. 2018 erschien von ihm die Erzählung "Stadt der Feen und Wünsche" und das Sachbuch "Die andere Hälfte der Heilung".
